WEBINAR Big Doors Swing on Small Hinges: The 5 Best Contract Changes to Make NOW to Lower Your Risk and Sleep Better at Night Tuesday, September 17th | 11:00 AM Cohosted by Cottingham & Butler and Eliot Wagonheim of First Rule Contract Training Construction contracts are a high-stakes game. With substantial contract sums and even greater potential liabilities for each project, minimizing risk while maintaining agreeable terms can seem like an impossible challenge. Join Eliot Wagonheim, construction attorney and founder of First Rule Contract Training, for an insightful webinar that unveils five strategic contract modifications with significant bottom-line impact. Why focus on small changes? Because subtlety is key. Overwhelming your counterpart with extensive revisions rarely yields the desired results. Why these changes? Because your company doesn’t benefit from legal nit-picking. What your company needs is maximum protection and optimized profit. In this session, you'll discover how minor adjustments can lead to major improvements in your contract's effectiveness.

How to close the huge, but often unseen, warranty gap that could cost your company thousands of dollars…or more The one change that will enable you to sign off on a contract that ties you to a Project Schedule…even when the schedule is out of date or not attached at all.
